The 4-Hour Chef is Live!

I’ve been keeping things under wraps, but there is one big surprise. For the last 5 years, the most frequent request from blog readers has been a guide to mental performance. In other words, answering the question: how do you deconstruct and learn any skill?

Well, I’ve been listening all along, and that book is here!

Here’s the complete title: The 4-Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, and Living the Good Life. Intended to be “the cookbook for people who don’t buy cookbooks,” The 4-Hour Chef will use food as a vehicle to teach the art and science of meta-learning–the skill of learning skills. Whether you want to learn a new instrument or a new sport (or anything in between), you’ll have a field-tested and research-backed blueprint. In addition to insight from world-class chefs, we’ll have an unreal cast of characters helping you to multiply your learning potential.

For a limited time, to celebrate the announcement, you can pre-order The 4-Hour Chef for 50-80% off. Instead of $30 for print, you can reserve a copy for $15. Instead of $22 for Kindle, you can get it for $5.99.

You can cancel anytime up to ship date, so there is no downside, only locked-in savings.

Sidenote…

Why might you buy the physical book, even in addition to the Kindle? Three reasons:

1) It will be gorgeous, a wonderful tactile experience, and truly unlike any cookbook you’ve ever seen.

2) I’ll be thinking up bonuses for people who buy the print edition early.

3) It would really help me out. Inexplicably, The New York Times excludes all advice/how-to books from their e-book bestseller list, so only the print edition counts towards the bestseller list. Silly, but there you have it!

Hey Judy, I can sympathize with the massive amount of email that you can get on a day to day basis. Since you are still subscribed, I would guess that you enjoy his posts, but just feel a little overwhelmed by the amount of email that you receive in total and Tim’s emails are a part of it. I love the work Tim Ferris has done, but the email you received from him might be one out of hundreds of emails you get in a day.

I posted on facebook this message “Preordering on Tim Ferriss’ latest book has started. If you haven’t read his other books your are seriously behind. Share this link with your friends. This is not a ad, I seriously love Tim Ferriss” with a link to this article. Then I systematically posted on friends walls with personal messages on why they should reshare this, although they had no choice all their friends would see it because it was on their wall. The friends I chose possessed at least one of these criteria: 1. They had lots of friends. 2. They liked cooking or acquiring new skills such as langauges. 3. Had previously read one of your books.

…how to kick it up a notch higher than Emeril and the counter intuitive ways of doing things typical to T.Ferriss 4H work that will blow the minds of disbelievers. One thing specific would be a solid covering of the absolute basics that one needs to know with a chart of variables that can be substituted to create any meal or dish.

3. I created a facebook ad that ran since the time of viewing the post on Tuesday until this morning with a reach of 378 as of writing this.

4. I created a google adwords campaign which, sadly, I just realized never ran due to the display link being different than the actual link. (display=4hourchef.com, actual=amazon.com/xyz)

5. I control a fan site for a youtube comedian that receives over 300 pageviews per day and posted the amazon link and the 4hc youtube video smack dab at the top of the site. (http://www.edbassmastervideos.com)

6. And lastly I created a blog post on my personal website detailing everything (with screenshots for proof) that I had done and what Tim has done for me. This is received by a small but dedicated audience. (http://www.robertlabonne.com)

I’m sure a lot of people are eager to read the book, but is it really true that the book won’t be released for the better part of a year? It’s one thing for Amazon to offer pre-orders on a book that’s in production and will be released within a few weeks. It seems to me to border on sharp business practices to queue up orders for something that, from a reader’s point of view, doesn’t really exist yet. Especially if you’re sort of implying a Christmas tie-in. Yeah, it’ll be great for *next* Christmas. I’m kind of floored that no one else is commenting on that.

Just FYI, Amazon has your book listed as $5.99 for Kindle and $15 for the hardcover edition. And mentions that it will be regularly $9.99 and $18 respectively. Not the $30 (hardcover) and $22 (kindle) mentioned in the blog post

FWIW I also received an email from Amazon this morning that states “From now through December 18, pre-order Timothy Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Chef (coming on September 25, 2012) for just $15 in hardcover (regularly $18) or $5.99 as a Kindle book (regularly $9.99).”

Looking forward to some excellent slow-carb diet recipes in the 4-Hour Cookbook! I’m especially hope to learn how to pair wines and healthy deserts with meals to fill out the palate.

Anyway, to help promote the book, I created a 4-Hour Chef Gaggle: http://gaggleamp.com/EXILw30. Any of your fans can join and to receive messages to share on their own social media accounts about your book. I can follow up with numbers later after awhile to show how effective the messages people shared were.

Enjoyed your appearance on the Rogan Podcast last month. 4 hr body is great, looking fwd to this one. I’ll def pre-order the print edition, but would love a kindle fire! I tweeted it out. If yr in Austin for your book tour, drinks on me.

– I posted this to Facebook and Twitter and also have told a few of my co-workers about this. I wont have much impact in a whole, but those few people that I told were already excited since I had loaned out my copies of the 4hr workweek and body and eventually they bought their own and even gave them as gifts to family members 🙂 We all love you Tim!

This book is going to help me easily realize my dream idea, “Can Jeff Ramos Do It?”, a web show that I wanted to produce where I learn something new, every week, for an entire year. Obviously, rapid learning will be key to the show’s success and longevity.

To spread the word, I actually just sent an e-mail to my little New York City-based brain trust of your fans that I know personally as well as other friends of mine I’ve met through coaching that love stuff like this. Also glad to see the book will release around my birthday, September 17th.

I pre-ordered the book on amazon and am in the process of telling everyone I know, because I think there was a lot to be gained from Tim’s first two 4 hour books and this will no doubt only add more.

What I would like to know is what your advice is for overcoming the plateau that is eventually and inevitably faced in almost any difficult task or during the course of learning. Regardless of the topic, eventually there will be something that just seems to be too hard to overcome. Besides “perserverance” which each person has the capacity for a varying amount of, what types of tricks can you use to keep your mind off of the negative, and focused on the task at hand.

The only thing that really stands out to me is the color combination of the fonts and background. Something about it screams “bad sci-fi movie” to me. Why? I can’t put my finger on it but the colors simply evoke that kind of emotional response for me. Go figure.

I would like to learn how to disect any style of cuisine to learn the basic skills & ingredient combinations.

I have shared the link on Google+ with my nearly 8000 followers and on twitter with my just over 2000 followers! I’ve also shared it with my 800 friends on facebook. I’ve already got a lot of likes, +1s and re-tweets! I’ll be able to give you more details as time progresses 🙂

Eagerly awaiting your book. I have already published it to my friends on my FB wall (468 friends). I have also published both the links on my Twitter with you @tferris included. Will post stats as I see them

I would love to make dinner with some left overs, so ideas there would be of great value on a daily basis. Look fwd to it

I’d love to learn how to prepare myself 100% for success in the future and to be able to pass along practical knowledge of this lifestyle, to family, friends, anyone who will listen!

I’ve been doing the 4HB lifestyle since July 25th (took a month off Sept 11-Oct 11 to travel to Africa on my honeymoon), and overall I’ve lost 17 lbs, and I feel amazing with this lifestyle of eating. Only 16 more lbs to my goal weight!!!

I recently ran a half marathon in 1:54:29, a full 8 minutes faster then my previous PR. I don’t miss breads and pastas, and carb loading prior to races. I can’t wait to see how my 2nd ever Marathon in May 2012 goes with this amazingly healthy, simple way of living.

I shared Tim’s post on Facebook & Twitter, the link to amazon, and the link to this blog! I want everyone to be as excited as I am for this amazing cookbook, the next step in the 4HB lifestyle!!!

I got a smile on my face reading through your post. I’m just wondering, are you following 4HB’s advice on running? If yes, it’ll be great to be in touch. We have some plans for the running chapter and I would be glad to get your input on it.

As a foodie and amateur gourmet chef, I wanna see what Tim Ferriss comes up with that I don’t already know – After reading the two other books, I’m sure it’ll be great.

I facebooked it to my 695 friends, and tweeted it to my 318 followers. I’m a reporter in Alaska (just left an alt-weekly, now at a local CBS affiliate) so my peeps are likely to pay attention.

My wife loved the four-hour body diet – especially the binge day – so a book about food by Ferriss? Can’t wait. Especially curious if it’s got anything related to the peculiar things we eat up in Alaska – do you know the nutritional value of muktuk (whale skin/blubber), Tim? Or dried sheefish dipped in seal oil? You probably weren’t thinking of we Alaskans specifically, but maybe for the second edition? Come up to Alaska, and on your next binge day you can try akutaq (Eskimo ice cream – whipped lard with berries and dried fish). Can’t wait for the book.

Hi Tim! Looking forward to the release of your book, I’ve read both of your previous books and find them inspiring! Working on my muse, (and health…) as we speak!

– Posting on Facebook, exposure to roughly 334 active users

– Posting on Twitter, and getting others involved via a follow up post/link to THIS blog (Hoping to get others to tweet who have more contacts than I do)

Essentially my strategy for this is to get as many people to talk about this contest (Incentivize them) and get them to do some extra leg work for me, as I know they have more followers/friends than I can hope to reach!

The 4-Hour Body helped me change my life in so many ways. I lost 65 lbs of fat in 7 mos. and now in better shape than I was in playing football and baseball in High School. Following my success, dozens of my friends and relatives are now in the beginning stages of #4HB experimentation. I posted the link to this blog on Facebook and Twitter to encourage them to continue their journey with the new book. Thanks so much for your insights and examples!

Can’t wait for the next book I am a big fan of the previous 4H Books. I shared via Twitter & FB to my many followers/friends.

I am also including link and summary in the you might also like section of our businesses newsletter this month which goes out to over 10,000 people. We typically put random news, facts and other info in here and generally get a 30-40% Open rate on the newsletter.

I would love to learn the art of hacking skills – especially making the low carb diet taste amazing.

My impact: I responded immediately. I’m posting to my social media direct links to your amazon link, and a personal recommendation. I will follow that up with links to your blog post in a few hours, talking about a resource that allows skill hacks. I will finish with links in 24 hours selling a crazy app for holiday food tracking that will save my butt (literally).

I have over 500 friends. Of those, I’m friends with a several influencers. I will message them personally, alerting them to the competition. They will, of course, start their own work which can easily bring several thousand clicks in a few hours. Because they know this early, they will think it a good chance.

Finally, I’m calling a few key people, telling them about the sale in person. My key friends will love this as a gift. The Baby Boomers who I know will find this fascinating and wouldn’t get an E-book – but already know about the 4HB from me and would buy this in print. Boosting your NYT numbers.

Posted links to my Facebook page (hundreds of friends) and to my Public circles on Google+ (dozens to hundreds of friends, depending on sharing). I will write a blog post about it tonight (can’t do that at work, boo!) with links to both this blog entry and the Amazon page. My blog page used to have a great page rank, but it’s slipped a bit and this (and testimonials about your other books) will be a good incentive to increase my blogging volume (and ad revenue, I hope).

I’ve lost 15+ pounds so far following 4-Hour Body and I feel GREAT. I’ve also taken back control of my finances and started designing my lifestyle instead of dreaming of far-off retirement based on 4-Hour Work Week. I already love to cook, so I’m hoping this book will teach and inspire me as much as the others have!

I want to take your method and reapply it to de-constructing my university education. Naturally, I want the best results with the least amount of effort. I hope the ideas in your book will fulfil this.

– To broadcast your announcement I did the following things:

— Shared on Google+ to over 1400 followers.

— Shared on Twitter to over 300 followers.

— Shared on Facebook to my close friends and family.

—Convinced my brothers to get their hands on it this Christmas.

The rest from here on out will likely be word of mouth. Can’t wait to read it!

I’d like to learn how to cook without making a mess of the kitchen! Seriously, I eat out too much because I find cooking annoying – too many subjective directions like “cook until done” when I prefer precision – and because I don’t want to clean up afterwards.

Seems a bit early, but I went ahead and preordered! I also facebook’d this post, and I’ll be bringing it up in a private forum where a number of people have opinions (on both sides) about your earlier books.

I’d most like to learn about quick breakfasts i can make that will keep me filled until lunch!

To spread the word i sent this post to my family (who i have bought $99 Kindle’s for the holidays) via email and on facebook. Specifically, i sent this email to my uncle’s 4 e-mail address because he had mentioned over thanksgiving that he was eating fast food numerous times throughout the week because he never had time in the morning to cook breakfast or prepare a bag lunch.

the most important thing to me is that my family doesn’t fall into the pitfalls of obesity and non-activity. I am in law school and my sister works as a child counsellor, so we both have very little time in the morning to have a healthy meal that will keep us energized and motivated throughout the day.

i have also made this link my gchat status so that it is the first thing that pops up when my friends see that i am online…which amounts to always.

I would like to learn more about the integration of the slow carb diet from your 4 hour body book with this one. I lost almost 6 pounds in two weeks using the slow carb diet method from the book & am looking forward to being able to use it again after my pregnancy.

I can’t wait to learn more about meta-learning. I want to learn more about your your unique outlook on life, and become inspired to make positive changes in my own life (just like your first 2 books did).

I am telling my close friends about this book. I’m not annoying my twitter followers, or spamming links online. Just sending personal recommendations to those that I truly believe are interested, and asking them to further pass the info along if they feel so inclined.

I can’t tell you how much I look forward to this book. I have tweeted (twittered?) and Facbooked the link, nit just to win the Kindle, but because I love the 4 hour body and told so many people about it and that I KNEW a cooknook would be next, and I was right. I love being right!

I want to apply the minimalistic approaches that you have applied to entrepreneurship and the physical body to cooking. I have always struggled with cooking enough food for myself (Extreme metabolism) let alone have it taste good. I have always settled for the bland food. I want some variety and tastiness in my diet!

I can’t wait for this book. I have been interested in you talking more in depth about cooking since seeing the Four-hour cookbook.

I have done a few things:

• I have pre-ordered the hardcopy book on amazon. (I am bummed it comes out in September!)

• Liked both posts on Facebook where you talk about the four-hour cookbook (I have already liked your page)

• I retweeted both your tweets about the book

• I will be talking about this book for the next 10 months and most definitely after the release

• I will most likely pre-order a few more copies for friends and family

I will be creating as much buzz as a busy college student can from his 1 bedroom. Good luck! I cannot wait for this book. It is way to far away

So, I’ve posted the link to the blog on my Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and will be doing so every couple of days. I’m excited for this book because of all the inventive/strange concepts that were in the 4 hour body (first Ferriss book I read). Although I’ve been expecting a cookbook full of concoctions to be creative with chicken, beans and veggies, I’m still excited to see how to make wine better, etc…

Your 4 Hour Body book was a great read and the plan was very successful for me. I’m looking forward the “4 Hour Chef” (I think I figured our your cryptic pattern!) I tweeted to my minions (@whoisfisher).

I would most like to learn how to learn. I’ve gotten myself in a slump and I discourage myself. Cooking is something that I have always let pass, and I end up eating like a slob. If I can learn new things through cooking, I’m for it.

I have posted to G+, Twitter, and Facespace. Will update stats By Dec. 3.

I am always trying to spread “The 4-Hour” word, especially the newest “The 4-Hour Chef”. Using the always fun Oink app, I was the first and original poster of (I’m sure your friends at Oink can verify this too):

I am spreading the word through my personal and professional networks. I have a very high Klout score and decent reach for a “regular” person.

Regardless of winning the Kindle or not, I am chomping at the bit for your next book. I read the 4 Hour Body and applied a lot of your teaching to my everyday life. I feel better, I look better and most importantly I am continuing to educate myself.

Hi Tim, the thing I’m looking forward to learning from your new book the most is the ability to easily cook/prepare wonderful food dishes that I enjoy ordering in fancy restaurants by myself at home w/ little culinary expertise.

I’ve been a fanatical fan of your 4-Hour Work Week + 4-Hour Body Book series. I have accomplished the following tasks:

– Sent a company wide e-mail with the titles of all 3 of your books (4-Hour Work Week, Body, and Chef) to all of my co-workers. I have included a brief description of each book, Amazon URL link, and my personal thoughts + experiences. (Approx 240+ employees).

– I have brought up your blog website in my team staff meetings as a great resource for health and food ideas (9 employees).

I have lived the 4HB for a few months–gained 30 lbs of muscle in two months, lowered my fat to 8% too!

[add to what I’ve done for you]

4- I liked this page for Facebook.

My birthday is Dec. 16th so it would just add to my holiday spirit. I’m a teacher of low income families and this would just add to my catalogue of information to share with them and the Kindle Fire would make it easier for me to read while traveling.

1. What I want to learn from 4 hour chef: How to cook regular meals using normal ingredients and get new ideas

2. What I did:

A. Posted the following on Facebook & Twitter: (1,050 total friends/followers very high quality, know me personally/professionally through facebook and twitter.

Excited about this book as it continues to follow the pattern of how i’m trying to improve my life. Started with 4 Hour Work Week, then 4 Hour Body and now as ‘I’m trying to cook more (eat better, save money) the Four Hour Chef will not disappoint. Please share this post with your friends to help me win a Kindle from the author, Tim Ferris.

B. Will promote at my annual Christmas party (45+ people) as well as highlight the 3 book series on my entry foyer.

C. Personally emailed 6 friends (who I know for a fact have read the previous 2) to tell them to check out blog post. (They have significantly more followers as they are business owners)

I want to win this for my pregnant wife so she has a Kindle to read on as she gets further along. (can prove with ultrasound pictures of the lil boy!)

My wife and I have recently started eating better. Cooking more healthy foods instead of eating out. We are hoping to set a good example for our 5 year old daughter so that she gets a head start on living the healthy lifestyle. Looking forward to the slow-carb recipes. I feel like we are always on the go and being able to “hack” cooking would be a tremendous help for our family. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Looking forward to reading your latest. About to hop on a plane thanks to some 4-Hour workweek inspired freedom, and I want to post what I did before the first 300 submissions come in, so I don’t have much in terms of numbers yet.

Big Fan.. Have read all of your stuff and been an avid blog reader. I thought I would start off getting the word out right. Here is what i’m doing:

– Sending “Holiday Gift Ideas” including a link to your pre-order to 59,000 employees of a large Aluminum manufacturing organization with the use of Site Code based distribution lists (sending to HR managers per site) to distribute as part of a holiday email in the next few weeks.

– Doing the same thing for a large pharmaceutical company estimating 108,400 employees in the same fashion.

I’m currently a consultant for these companies and are tapped in to the infrastructure. They both send out emails with Holiday themes and I can include a blurp in that/those emails with little work.

Estimated Impact : 167,400 and change. Might be worth a Kindle but I’m happy to back a great product.

Hey Tim! I want to learn two things from the 4-hour chef: One, how to become a great cook using simple tricks that will make my friends think I must have gone to culinary school because the food is that good ;).

Two, I want to continue to learn more slow-carb recipes so that when I cook for friends, I don’t have to feed them my standard meal of chicken, beans, and bell peppers! (I don’t mind eating the same food over and over, but pretty sure my friends would!)

-I tweeted the blog post, tweeted about the amazon page, and tweeted when I pre-ordered the book this morning (105 followers….not much, but hey, its a start).

-I always retweet your tweets!

-I made a post on my facebook when I pre-ordered the book, and I made one with a link to the amazon site, and one to your blog.

-I’ve lost over 85lbs and am always sharing with friends about your book when they ask how I did it!

– I’ve just recently found out about the 4-Hour Body, and well, to be quite honest I’m terrified of it.

– I LOVE to cook, bake, grill, etc, and even though I know I need to go on a diet, I’m afraid of giving up the foods I love.

– I want to learn how to love the foods that aren’t crammed and loaded with massive amounts of calories 🙂

I’ve shared this on Facebook and have emailed it to several of my friends. I can’t get an exact count for you just yet, however I will try to update this post (if possible) with an approximate amount. Thanks, and I’m looking forward to exploring healthier options!

I want to find about those cool hacks and tricks I can show the ladies and their parents. I am posting here because I believe no one else will post a comment and I will win by default. Maybe not but I didn’t realize I am at a place with the 1% intellectually. In for 1.

*Super excited about the next book, I’m hoping to learn more skills on the time management thing you have down so insanely well! This especially would be good for cooking as I have started a FIRE or two getting distracted with multiple things going on. All your books have been so inspiring and exciting to read! Can’t wait! (Wouldn’t mind having a different fire in the kitchen to help as well!)

*Already last night I was sending out to friends and family all about how to “Chop Wine” so I have already been hard at work marketing your book! 🙂

1. I tagged the URL with GA codes so you could see if any traffic from my links worked.

2. I made a T-shirt for my Dog that says “Buy the 4-hour chef”. He likes to run around the neighborhood so when we go for our afternoon run, you’ll get a little exposure, although it isnt that measurable! (pic coming if I can get him to sit still)

A few months back I read The 4-Hour Work Week, and constantly posted insights and tips insights and tips on my Facebook page. The posts prompted a ton of conversations between my friends and family. This time around it’s all about The 4-Hour Chef, and sending everyone to Amazon’s pre-order page.

I love to cook and I’m not terrible at it, but I’m slow as hell. I tend to focus all my energies on one dish at a time and forget about the rest. I’d kill to learn a few tips, such as:

-Cooking time management (that won’t involve popping an Adderall)

-How to better cook for one (decent proportions and reasonable budget)

-Tried and tested flavoring techniques using herbs and spices with specific foods

-And how to poach a freakin’ egg. So many cartons of eggs wasted in many desperate attempts!

I am hoping to find some more slow carb recipes to help out in my weight loss journey. I have to lose 20 more pounds. I have been inspired by the people around me to lower my blood pressure and eat healthier. I have a high chance of getting diabetes if I don’t make the right changes now!

I retweeted the post and am heading over to Amazon now to preorder the book! I intend to blog about the book upon releases.

I’m also considering reading it prominently on my bus commute every morning, proudly displaying the cover for all passengers to see, then leaving it out on my desk to casually pick up at lunch when my coworkers ask what smells so delicious as I reheat my leftovers. 🙂

As a kitchen-newbie I need to learn how to cook food that’s good for me but still taste goods. Can’t wait to read your cooking hacks just as right now I’m enjoying your fitness hacks in the 4-Hour Body. I already started to photograph everything I’m eating and have changed the way and amount I eat in just the first two weeks. Can’t wait to put the 4-Hour Chef into my 4-Hour Body notes!
